We had 2 guests this week, as the girl so happily pointed out. Tim, who is now dabbling in insurance sales after dropping out from law school, came by to talk to us about, what else, insurance. No surprises here. I cooked a simple 3 dish meal when he came over for dinner.

On Saturday, the bestie dropped by our place, too. And that is because she happened to be checking out piloxing that was happening somewhere, a couple of train stops away from our place. And I made 1 pot chicken pasta, which I learnt from a recent infotainment program on tv. 

I liked it but yes, agree that a dash or 2 of olive oil would be better. When I heated the little balance of it on Sunday for the hubs, it was perfect because I steamed heat it. 

We brought the girl swimming in the afternoon to join her friend from the previous childcare centre. Although the hubs had passes for the zoo, I felt the weather was too humid and hot and thus decided to join the Lees when I asked the mother if she wanted to join us to the zoo but she felt the same way about the weather. Unfortunately, not yet 20 minutes in the pool, there were warning signs of lightning and true enough, everyone had to get out of the water. A lot of people wanted to wait out the rain but unfortunately or not, it continued to rain. But the pool is nice. Apparently, newer than the one nearer to our place and there is a bigger water-play area. The children's shower area have low partition walls and hot water too. So I guess we'll head there again next time.

The 2 families decided to adjourn for dinner at West Coast Plaza. The hubs feel that they are a nice family, young parents with 2 young kids and that we can join them more often. Well, especially since the 2 4 year olds are so chummy. Besides they also do not believe in propping up their phones or ipads during dinner just so the child can eat their food. And the mother do not fail to correct their child when it's necessary.

And after church today, we paid a visit to Gaye's mom who has been admitted to the hospital for a mild stroke. Sigh...all the elderly people we know seem to be admitted recently. Hopefully, all of them will be fine.
